With all of the talk about Web 2.0, very few people understand how to
implement the look and feel of a Web 2.0 web site.
While Web 2.0 sites tend to focus on increased levels of visitor
interactivity, personalization and customization -- think movable widgets (calendars,
RSS feeds, etc.) and blogs and forums -- there is also a distinct Web 2.0 look and
feel.
Graphics on Web 2.0 sites tend to jump off the page. They use bright
colored buttons and backgrounds with lots of light and reflection, shadow and texture
treatments in an effort to make the pages visually exciting. One way to accomplish this
is with popular striped backgrounds.

Striped page backgrounds are used to provide a border
around the center of the page to help draw attention to your message (while also being
extremely pleasing to the eye). Striped backgrounds don't compete for your visitor's
attention. They are simple but effective ways to draw more attention to your
words.




It usually takes a good graphic artist to select the
right colors, the right width of the stripes, and the angle of the lines. But now you
can do-it-yourself with Easy Striped Backgrounds from Max Rylski, the creator of
